    Our culture, which has especially violated the commandment to love God by turning the Lord’s day into a market day, and has violated the commandment to love our neighbor by murdering millions of preborn infants, is clearly under judgement.

    Tuesday of 17th Week in Course 2020 The Plague Year Homilies The Church providently provides for us a series of fitting readings this year, currently from the prophecy of Jeremiah. Today we pick up in chapter 14 with what is called a series of prophecies during a great drought. Earlier in the ...read more

    Ephesus is one of the churches that got things half right, yet entirely wrong. The church must have doctrinal purity, but not at the expense of love.

    Unto the Church in Ephesus, Write Revelation 2:1-7 Introduction Last week, we were introduced to the magnificent vision of Christ which John saw, which left him as though he were dead. This was similar to the vision that several of the Old Testament prophets had seen with a similar feeling of ...read more

    There are certain traits that should characterize a believer who serves the Lord. We are to obey him in doing good works, so others can see God’s love and kindness through us. We are to teach God’s word with passion and conviction.

    If our lives ended today, how would those around us assess our contribution to our fellow man? Our example leaves an impression on others. With God’s help, it will be one of love, faith and purity of life. The book of Titus captures the pattern God gave for every believer and the direction ...read more

The Texan says, “Well, I struck oil, so I became rich, but I didn’t sit on my laurels-I divided all my ...read more

    Work for the Church does not please Jesus unless we maintain our original motivation

    Letter to the Church in Ephesus Introduction: I rarely dip into the Book of Revelation to preach because it is so difficult to understand and needs a lot of background to get a full picture of what John is saying.

    Adam Died Without Fulfilling His Obligation

    Contributed by William R. Nabaza on May 6, 2016

    To show that unbelievers of this world died without fulfilling their duties and obligations before GOD that's why their family will be left with the same negligence of not knowing the LORD JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR.
